Obama dopes want dope

I've been ignoring Change.gov as yet another Internet marketing scam by Obama's handlers that exists (at taxpayer expense, of course) to build up his mailing list. You know, give the Obama appartchiks your email address and you get to vote on the national agenda (zzzzz) and receive fundraising spam for life. Kind of like those phoney Obama IQ tests you see advertised except that they require payment now instead of later.

Anyhow, it turns out that there was a vein of comedy gold at Change.gov as Austin Modine reveals at The Register:

Obama's Change.gov site will close down its internet suggestion box today [January 17], after a week of taking suggestions and opinions on the new administration's executive policy from the web public at large. In standard Web 2.0 fashion, users can vote up or down on existing entries — the theory being that the best schemes will rise to top.

Supposedly, the "top ideas" will be presented directly to the new Commander-in-chief in the form of a "Citizen's Briefing Book" following his inauguration on January 20.
...
1) With 70,520 points at time of publication, the the most popular idea by a margin of 10,300 is "Ending Marijuana Prohibition."
...
Which brings us to: 2) "Bullet Trains & Light Rail."
...
3) Closely behind train funding in votes is a call for "an end to the government sponsored abstinence education to be replaced by an introduction of age appropriate sex education."
...
To be saved for a cold day in hell is 4) the request America "Commit to becoming the 'greenest' country in the world."
...
At the end of our top five, we hit our top 5), which takes us back to 1): "Stop using federal resources to undermine states' medicinal marijuana laws."

Hmmm, this sounds a tad familiar: Make love not war in a garden of Eden with plenty of weed and choo choo train rides to trip you out while high. Why am I not surprised that stoners are Barry's most fervent supporters? To them his blather probably makes sense.  Of course, former drug dealer Obama has stated his support for tokes for all in the past.

Dumber than a sack of hammers

This loon believes Obama is going to put gas in her car and pay for her mortgage.



And you know she doesn't think the money is coming out of his own pocket - it's going to come out of yours. Hmmm, maybe I'm uncharitable - maybe she thinks it's going to come from God:

Boffo musical lineup for the Democrat convention!

Today's the start of the Democrat convention and although there's sure to be plenty of stultifying speechifying, the convention committee has plans to liven it up to prove to the worldwide audience that they aren't just a bunch of leftoid stiffs. Check out this press release detailing the musical numbers they have planned:

MUSICAL HIGHLIGHTS OF 2008 DEMOCRAT CONVENTION

2008 Democrat National Convention Organizing Committee

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

August 25, 2008

While the 2008 Democrat convention will feature stirring speeches by party luminaries, the attendees and the TV audience will also be entertained by the musical talents of some of the thought leaders of the party. Below is a partial list of the planned musical entertainment - watch every single second of the convention to avoid missing any of it!

• Former Senator John "The Millworker's Son" Edwards will wow the crowd with the ballad, "My Cheating Heart." A duet of "The Ballad of Lizzie and Johnny" was planned with his lovely wife Liz, but she had some last minute family issues that kept her from attending.

• House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will get the house smiling with her Global Warming theme song, "A Bicycle Built for You and a Limousine Just for Me."

• Former Vice President Al Gore will remind everyone that climate change is serious business as he leads the crowd in an ancient Aztec chant to the Sun God begging him to spare sinful humans. Note: the virgin sacrifice was canceled due to shortages.
  

• Mayor Kwame "Pimp Daddy" Kilpatrick of Detroit will get the crowd jumping with his rendition of "Jailhouse Rock" backed by the famous Mayor's Mansion Strippers (except for the one that died mysteriously, of course).

• Former Governor Don "Crazy Pants" Siegleman of Georgia is out on bail, so he will be able to deliver his soulful rendition of "Working on a Chain Gang." Also be sure to catch the wailing harmonica on Don's "Karl Rove is Out to Get Me Blues."

• Crowd favorite Ted Kennedy will be sure to leave you chortling over his "Little Brown Jug (How I Love Thee)." Unfortunately, backup singers Mary Jo and Joan weren't able to attend because of prior commitments.

• Former President Bill "Registered Sex Offender" Clinton will bring back the good old days with "Devil with the Blue Dress On" and a soulful rendition of "Women I Have Known and Raped Before."

• Of course, the convention would not be complete without Senator Hillary Clinton delivering her stirring "I Am Woman (Hear Me Roar)" which she will late on whatever night she can be scheduled. Note from DNC Chairman Howard Dean: Clinton delegates are reminded of the need for them to vote on all ballots in their special venue in Casper, Wyoming, just a short walk from the convention hall.

Finally, the two stellar attractions:

• Michelle Obama plans to get your fingers snapping and toes tapping with her covers of "Get Back Honky Cat" and "Up Against The Wall, Redneck Mother" before she leads the crowd in "Kumbaya" which won't leave a dry eye in the house. Then she will have you on your feet with a clenched fist salute as she leads the singing of "The Internationale." You go, girl!
  

• Senator Barack Obama, of course, will be accepting his nomination at a rock concert extravaganza in the Invesco Center which will culminate with everyone in the stadium standing, giving the O-hole salute and singing along with "Obama Uber Alles" (words and required official Obama armband will be in the souvenir program).

Hmm, maybe there will be "A-team" reruns on some cable channel.

Obama team sets staging for big stadium rally at convention

I see that the TV networks are in a tizzy about the cost to them of Barack Obama's handlers' plan for the Obamessiah to give his acceptance speech at a big night rally at the outdoor Invesco stadium. Of course, nothing is too good for the networks' boy and besides there's an upside for them too:

Unspoken among the executives is the guarantee of increased ratings and stunning visuals from Invesco that could offset some of that larger than expected expenditure.

I'll say. While everyone thought Obama was just in Germany to attend a free rock concert and snub wounded US soldiers, he and his posse were picking up some staging tips. Here's a mock-up of what it is going to look like:


It's a little derivative, but so dramatic!

Somehow, I think the O-holes aren't going to be happy.
